Simple groups (20E32) Groups with a (BN)-pair; buildings (20E42) Generators, relations, and presentations of groups (20F05) Reflection and Coxeter groups (group-theoretic aspects) (20F55) Homological methods in group theory (20J05) Cohomology of groups (20J06)

Abstract: We exhibit explicit infinite families of finitely presented, Kazhdan, simple groups that are pairwise not measure equivalent. These groups are lattices acting on products of buildings. We obtain the result by studying vanishing and non-vanishing of their $L^2$-Betti numbers.
